I have the same problem, (Mac OSx vs. Sony Handycam dsr-sr65) and every few months I take a look online for help but no luck. I guess that is one of the few reasons I should not have bought Sony or Mac; I am surprised they can not be used together (the sales guy from staples said they would; doh!) or that it doesn't say that on one of their sites, or that their is no software that can convert it, or why Sony uses the mpg file extension, etcetera?
